Any sock weight yarn will work will work for this pattern, but Tosh Sock is an excellent alternative.

For the Sand and Sea Shawlette, I had my second version test knit in Madelinetosh Prairie in the Cove colorway. I wanted to show what this design looks like knit in one main color. Since Cove is a beautiful blend of browns and blues, it still evokes the feeling of the Sand and Sea combining on the shoreline.

This is such a versatile design. Any combination of lace or sock weight would be great for a light summery shawlette. But you could even do a thicker yarn for a more substantial shawl.

There will be two Coastal Knits trunk shows traveling the country very soon!

Please check the schedule here to see if it will be appearing at a yarn shop near you!

I love that you get two patterns from the book when you pre-order Coastal Knits. I've been trying to figure out how to use my Juniper Moon Farm share yarn (cormo/mohair) for a year and decided I had to use it for the Rocky Coast sweater. It's really lovely! I think I'll have enough leftover for the hat, too. Lucky me!!

I love how both of your designs actually go together. I am also obsessed with making the Rocky coast, I've been knitting up swatches. And those buttons are beautiful.Would you ever consider a stop in Montreal???
